Backstreet Boys Boy Band
830 wordsToday's current music scene has steadily become filled with pre-packaged assembly line bands and singers. This teen oriented pop phenomenon is repulsive.

For their own good, I can only hope these brainwashed teens will grow out of this horrible phase. Fabricated bands such as O-Town, N Sync, and The Backstreet Boys exhibit a minimum level of...
